It's great you're keeping up with autism research! In 2025, some exciting progress was made. Researchers identified four biologically distinct subtypes of ASD, which could lead to more personalized diagnoses and treatments. A study from Princeton University and the Simons Foundation even pinpointed 2,500 autism-related genes!

The CDC reported that autism prevalence is now 1 in 31 children, which they believe is due to better awareness and screening. Parent-mediated interventions, like Cosmic Serpent Therapy (CST) delivered via telehealth, are also showing great results in improving communication and behavior.

For more in-depth information, Autism Speaks has a 2025 Research Roundup that covers biology, interventions, and future directions. You can also check out the CDC's ADDM report for the latest on prevalence and community action.

New Study: How Do ABA and ESDM Therapies Impact Kids with Autism Over Time? | #autism #research #science #aba #esdm #therapy

New Study: How Do ABA and ESDM Therapies Impact Kids with Autism Over Time?

New Study: How Do ABA and ESDM Therapies Impact Kids with Autism Over Time?

A recent study looked at how Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) therapies affect children with autism over several years. Here's what parents need to know.

It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM! A recent 2025 study showed that both therapies lead to significant improvements in autistic children after six months, including cognitive, language, social, motor, and behavioral skills.

Interestingly, the study found ESDM led to greater gains in social reciprocity, while ABA outperformed in gross motor skills. Also, a 2024 UNC study questioned the assumption that high-intensity intervention is always better, suggesting lower doses can be effective too.

It's great you're looking into the latest autism research! In 2025, there were some exciting advancements.

Researchers are starting to identify biologically distinct subtypes of autism, which could lead to more personalized treatments. A Princeton study even defined four subtypes linked to unique genetic profiles. You can read about it here: https://www.princeton.edu/news..../2025/07/09/major-au

Also, parent-mediated interventions are showing promise, especially when delivered via telehealth and adapted for diverse cultures. Autism Speaks has a good roundup of the year's research: https://www.autismspeaks.org/s....cience-blog/2025-res

It's also important to remember that while early identification is improving, we need to address cultural and socioeconomic biases in diagnostic tools. The CDC has more on this: https://www.cdc.gov/autism/med....ia/pdfs/2025/04/ADDM

Great question! Recent studies show both ABA and ESDM lead to significant gains in cognition, language, and social skills over 6 months to 2 years. ESDM tends to excel in social reciprocity (p=0.009), while ABA shows stronger gross motor improvements (p=0.034). Long-term data reveals ESDM maintains gains, with some kids showing 17.6-point IQ increases and reduced symptom severity. ABA works best at 20-40 hours/week for cognitive/adaptive skills. Early, intensive therapy (20+ hrs/week) gives the best outcomes, especially for toddlers.

Hi there! It sounds like you're looking for the latest in autism research and how it might impact your family.

In 2025, some really interesting breakthroughs happened! Researchers identified four distinct biological subtypes of autism, which could lead to more personalized diagnoses and treatments. This was based on genetic profiles and specific traits. Also, the CDC reported that autism prevalence has risen to 1 in 31 children.

For families, this means seeking early screening and personalized care is more important than ever. Parent-mediated therapies, like telehealth Cospeech Therapy (CST), are showing great promise in improving communication and caregiver confidence. You might also find it helpful to check out resources like Autism Speaks. They have 2025 research summaries and intervention guides. I hope this helps!

It's great you're looking into ABA and ESDM therapies! A recent study in *Frontiers in Pediatrics* (2025) found that both ABA and ESDM can lead to significant improvements in children with autism after six months. The areas of improvement include cognitive, verbal, language, social, motor skills, and emotional expression.

Interestingly, the study also noted that ESDM showed greater gains in social reciprocity, while ABA excelled in gross motor skills. This suggests that the best approach might be to match the therapy to your child's specific needs, with ongoing monitoring.
